This is an animated prop for the discovery of a selected card, in the same genre as Dippy Duck, Sadie the Seal, Percy the Penguin, etc.

Ideal for kids shows, the prop is a large cut out clown, holding a top hat in one hand. A balloon is inflated and placed in the other hand. A card is now selected from a packet of cards, and could be marked or signed if you wish.

The selected card is mixed up in the packet, which is then placed in the top hat in the clown's left hand. At the performer's command, the balloon in the clown's right hand bursts, and the selected card appears held in the hand. The catching of the card is also accompanied by a tipping action of the clown, as if taking a catch, which is how he got his name!
